Last week I started getting off the tram earlier and earlier on the way home and walking the rest of the way. Today I decided to just walk the whole way, took an hour on the dot. It’s about half an hour using trams. It felt good! Can see myself doing this almost every day I think (weather permitting). My GP will be happy if it lowers my blood pressure.
I think about this with riding the bike. It’s 10 minutes slower than driving. I could see that as 20 minutes of exercise a day instead of wasted time getting to and from work

When I worked in the cbd and lived closer I used to do that all the time. It also took about an hour, and was a great way to unwind after work

this is true, walking and other mild exercise does lower blood pressure
